  1. Start menu only works on fullscreen (W10)


    This issue really annoy me as I cannot open the start menu normally as usual. But I can open start menu when I set it to fullscreen


    I don't understand why this happened, and I tried sfc, restart Explorer, Safe Mode, etc. Nothing happen.

  3. Start menu not working

    I found the following article, ran the suggested powershell command and my start menu is working again. Here it is as I found it:
    Go to Start menu button and right click on it. This will open the contextual menu, after which you need to select Command Prompt (Admin). Once Command Prompt is open, go ahead with the following steps.

    • Type and enter: Powershell
    • Type the following: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
